lh7dmtp | If you look at the top holdings of XCV (iShares Canadian Value Index ETF) you'll notice they're pretty similar to the top holdings of VCN. Obviously Shopify is missing, and a few others, but I think there is a certain truth to the idea that if you are buying Canadian index, you are getting some good value exposure to balance the growth bias of something like VUN/XUU.
I did own AVUV for a period but I ultimately decided that this approach was simpler and good enough for me (and lower-cost, frankly). | 5 | macula_transfer | 2024-08-09T01:08:27 | null | 4 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1enkf6k/what_etf_do_you_use_for_value_exposure/lh7dmtp/ | 0 | t3_1enkf6k | t3_1enkf6k | false | false |

lh7wrsp | Alright folks... one for the record books. +47% in one day on XPEL, along with all the other green. I think I should take profit though.
I'm looking at 3 new companies right now:
INTC
QCOM
LULU
I think Intel got over-sold, it has seen a pretty healthy rebound this week. Qualcom's mid-term potential in the next 3-5 years is pretty significant, I think some of its new chips will see very strong popularity. And LULU just got oversold by cautious investors but if Aritzia can command its shareprice then LULU is going to re-rate. | 0 | cogit2 | 2024-08-09T03:15:39 | null | 0 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1en20ui/daily_discussion_thread_for_august_08_2024/lh7wrsp/ | 0 | t3_1en20ui | t3_1en20ui | false | false |

lh7xao8 | It depends on the kind of investing you are doing.
If you are doing more of trading and getting into positions with the expectations that they will rise and then you can sell, then obviously it makes sense to be buying in larger numbers because timing of the pricing is important and you may not have a lot of time to gradually build a position.
But if you're just DCA'ing over time building up a position you intend to hold long term? That is the kind of investor I am, and since there are so many things I want to buy and I think they are at attractive prices I find myself splitting my $500 contributions into 4, 5, 6 different stocks and thus buying very few shares of each at a time. When something I want has an unusual drop and looks even more attractive then I will buy that more heavily.
Note: if I was paying fees for each trade then I would do it differently. I would buy larger lots of a smaller number of stocks/ETFs each time. So that $500 would likely just go to buying one stock this time, and a couple of weeks later the next $500 would buy another single stock. | 0 | ptwonline | 2024-08-09T03:19:28 | null | 0 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1en20ui/daily_discussion_thread_for_august_08_2024/lh7xao8/ | 1 | t3_1en20ui | t1_lh5egzh | false | false |

lh89oxb | Sounds good to me until you are at 50-100k and then diversify. You'll have more knowledge hopefully by then too.
Edit. Forgot to mention unless you are already making serious money hold off on the RRSP and concentrate on the tfsa. If you don't own a home the fhsa at your age is also a better vehicle than an RRSP as it can be used for a home purchase without having to pay back, and converts to an RRSP if you don't make a home purchase 15 years after opening it. Again it's only a good vehicle if you are actually making enough to be paying some taxes just like the RRSP (if you make under 60k a you should probably wait on these vehicles until you are, the tfsa is your tool of choice.) | 7 | jakemoffsky | 2024-08-09T04:58:48 | null | 6 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1enqpqb/is_this_a_bad_idea/lh89oxb/ | 0 | t3_1enqpqb | t3_1enqpqb | false | false |

lh9xdrj | > Is actually VERY normal in my culture to have more than one name to differentiate relatives/generations.
That's fine. But in Canada, with financial institutions, that is not "very normal", and you aren't supposed to use different names with different financial institutions.
> They should have asked me these questions when I opened the account and before accepting my money.
How would Questrade know that you have an account with some other financial institution that has a different name? They ask your name--they don't ask "Do you have a different name you use somewhere else?", because that's just not something people do when creating accounts at Canadian financial institutions. You are expected to use your legal name, the same name. You pick whatever you want it to be. But use the same one everywhere in the financial system. You are not entitled to expect financial institutions to accommodate different names in different places, that's simply not how it works in Canada--sorry. | 2 | canadave_nyc | 2024-08-09T13:51:34 | null | 2 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1enict6/so_frustrated_with_questrade/lh9xdrj/ | 2 | t3_1enict6 | t1_lh6loec | false | false |
lh9xfcn | It's a good idea, although there's always risk attaching yourself to a single country (see Japan from 1980s to now).
Theoretically, starting with a global market cap weighted portfolio is a better idea (maintain expected returns, while reducing volatility/risk). Then from there you can decide how much Canada you want in your portfolio (between 3% and 35% is a reasonable home bias). This can be taken care of with a simple two-fund portfolio of XIC + XAW.
Perhaps better yet is to just go VEQT/XEQT and remove any temptations to tinker (which there will be!). | 1 | Agitated_Father | 2024-08-09T13:51:50 | null | 1 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1enqpqb/is_this_a_bad_idea/lh9xfcn/ | 0 | t3_1enqpqb | t3_1enqpqb | false | false |

lh9y4op | I'm not sure why anyone would still be holding except as a gamble or perhaps because of behavioural issues where people struggle to sell at a loss.
Thankfully I sold a year ago when it was a bit over $10. At that point I looked at it and didn't see what a good path forward for them would be except to become a kind of iffy utility company with management that no one should trust, and there were better utilities out there if you wanted to hold one.
So instead I upped my FTS holdings and bought a bit of Emera as a second holding, though EMA has not done that well either it's still a much better utility than AQN and I still expect it to do fine longer-term as rates normalize. | 8 | ptwonline | 2024-08-09T13:55:52 | null | 7 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1envub7/daily_discussion_thread_for_august_09_2024/lh9y4op/ | 1 | t3_1envub7 | t1_lh9wp47 | false | false |

The split is definitely helpful for people who DCA smaller amounts regularly. I was looking at starting to start buying a bit of XST regularly as a way to try to get better returns from the deepest part of my emergency/house maintenance fund (like 20K in CBIL and a less-likely-to-be-needed 10K more in something with better returns and not much chance of big losses.) | 1 | ptwonline | 2024-08-09T14:16:28 | null | 1 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1envub7/daily_discussion_thread_for_august_09_2024/lha1sil/ | 1 | t3_1envub7 | t1_lh9p1te | false | false |
